Drunk man wakes during flight to urinate on passengers, goes back to sleep

A drunk passenger on board a JetBlue plane has been arrested upon arrival in the western US state of Oregon after urinating on fellow passengers, authorities say.

"Flight 45 from Anchorage, Alaska, was met by local authorities upon arrival into Portland at 4:26 this morning [Friday local time] following an incident involving an intoxicated customer," the airline said in a statement.

Portland police said Jeff Rubin, 26, spent several hours in jail before being released.

He faces charges of second-degree criminal mischief and offensive littering.

Crew and passengers on board the flight told police the suspect slept through most of the three-hour flight but woke up shortly before landing and began relieving himself.
